Did Michael Anthony play bass on every classic Van Halen song?

I believe Dave said that Summer Nights was pretty much all done, at least in demo form, and was entitled Eat Thy Neighbor...that song would kick ass with Dave on it!

Dave talks about the aborted 5150 sessions in his Crazy From The Heat book, where upon he'd waste entire mornings sitting on a bench outside the studio waiting for the VH brothers to drag themselves out of bed and sober up. You pretty much come away with the idea that a good portion of the material was already conceived while Roth was still a part of the band. He goes on to describe some of that very material as "maudlin power-ballads", which is about as apt a description ever offered about the album. I'd also add the phrase "hormone-free."

I think he also used the word morose.

IT'S 5150 TIME!!!

It's relationship time... "Edward/Michael/Alex/Samuel, you haven't put the bins out yet and it's nearly time for dinner, change your pants too they're disgusting, don't leave that glue out either and wash your hands before you come up, well... hurry up!"
